Bugaksan, Mountain and scenic site in northern Seoul, South Korea.
The 342-meter granite peak overlooks Gyeongbokgung Palace and forms part of the Seoul City Wall's mountain ridge system.
The mountain remained closed to public access for 40 years following a 1968 infiltration attempt by North Korean forces targeting the Blue House.
The site contains 208 plant species and holds ancient stone fortifications that were integral to Seoul's defensive system during the Joseon Dynasty.
Visitors receive numbered badges at information centers near Changuimun, Sukjeongmun, or Malbawi entrances for access to hiking trails throughout the mountain.
The mountain houses the origins of Cheonggyecheon stream and features the Bugak Skyway, a driving route established in 1968 along its northeast ridge.
